Happens all the time, different makes look different but they still fit. Do they actually fit?

the friction plate fits but the pressure plate sits to far away from the flywheel so the bolts dont reach, as you can see on the old clutch the bolt holes are sat closer to the friction plate any ideas?

Did you make up the engine? what does your flywheel look like, it could be a Nova flat flywheel.

Suppose you could use the new friction plate with the old pressure plate.

That looks like a flat fly.

And your new kit is for a pot fly.

Pretty sure it's what was on the nova gsi's,
You could use your old cover with new plate.

Yeah order a Nova GTE/GSI kit and it should bolt straight on

The hole is for the breather pipe from the cam cover, the thinner pipe on the right handside.

The hole in the airfilter pipe, is a breather iirc, which goes to the rocker cover, by the coil pack.
